Would you carry all your mistakes, regrets and failures in a bag and take it with you where ever you go? Most people would say no. Then why carry them in your forever in your mind. Just like your bag, if you keep opening up your past mistakes and carry it with here and there, what will you see? Usually, a barrage of sad or bad memories keep creeping up on you. Instead of hoping for a new you, You can't seem to move on and enjoy the present. 
And then you wonder why you can't move forward and nothing's happening well in your life!

But why not try to empty that baggage out and went over the heaps? Rather than your usual assumptions and judgments, you may be relieved to discover some solutions, life's lessons, and forgiveness.

You see my friends, cursing yourself for your past transgressions won't do you any good. Be glad that you've come this far and realized that you're way past those episodes in your life. At least you've come to terms with yourself that past is past and now it's time for a new you! The new you have that realization to learn and get over those past hurts and mistakes!

You are now in the present and you still have a future ahead of you. So instead of lugging that emotional baggage that you have, forgive the past and enjoy the new you!

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!"

Words to live by

Something to think about; Love the Sun for it warms your body, yet love the Rain for it cools your head. Love the Light for it shows you the way, yet love the Darkness for it shows you the stars. Welcome happiness for it enlarges your heart, yet endure sadness for it to open your soul. Be grateful for everything. Just enjoy every moment for none of it will ever happen the same way again.
